“This is a barometer to let the guys know we can play against really good teams,” said Capitol Christian head coach Van Whitfield. “(Bullis) played at a very deliberate pace; however we were still able to adjust to every move they made offensively. We never backed down.”

Capitol Christian trailed by four points at halftime, but the team adjusted quickly during the second half. Nate Watson, a 6-foot-6-inch freshman, dominated the game, leading Capitol Christian with 24 points and 12 rebounds.

“It was a good game, we fought to the end,” said Nate Watson at the end of the game.

Andre McFadden and Kwame Camon added 10 points each for Capitol Christian, and Malik Norfleet scored three points and notched five steals.

“Bullis definitely brought their all, and they challenged us through the first half, but it only made us better,” Camon said.
